The entrance to the museum is a long hallway with white walls and dark blue carpet. There are two stairs almost at the end of the hallway and a doorway on the right that leads to the main museum galleries. Going down the wall, we see paintings lining the bottom 1/3rd of the wall and three square exhibits behind glass above them. From the right to left towards the stairs: an exhibit showing many types of native footwear; a collection of both native made and english made snuff boxes; a collection of various pipe styles from both indigenous people and european trade pipes that were used to trade with the natives for goods. At the end of the hall is a tall case with large floor to ceiling panels that showcase a collection of weaving from several nations in the american southwest.
